• Initially brought on board in a contract role, and offered a full-time position with this designer and manufacturer of add-on armour and protection systems for armoured fighting vehicles.
• Translated product designs into comprehensive process designs for manufacturing, working in collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure that engineering processes are sound.
• Developed accurate bill of materials (BOM), including all assemblies, components and parts, and provides these to the purchasing and production teams to build the infrastructure needed to manufacture products.
• Relied upon by the production quality team to resolve quality issues, by using various quality tools from hand measurement to CMM data to determine the solutions to recurring quality issues.
• Drew on communication and interpersonal strengths to communicate the advantages of engineering changes to the team, detailing the benefits to build buy-in for adoption of the changes.
• Identified a gap in the existing Bills of Materials and solved it by redeveloping the bills of materials to more seamlessly integrate into an ERP system.

• Evaluated several finite element solutions to determine the suitability to predict failures in ROPS cabs as per ISO 21299 and related standards
• Became the go-to resource for standards compliance issues during the design phase, and consulted on changes post testing to ensure continued standards compliance.
• Collaborated with the Cab Designer and Engineering Manager, reviewing design specifications against requirements to ensure designs meet ISO 21299 standards. Subsequently observed and performed tests for certification.
• Translated data from PTC Creo into SolidWorks Simulation, running finite element analysis (Non-Linear) to predict the potential success or failure of designs.
• Played an integral role in troubleshooting the root cause of failures within the Ventrac LW 450 frame/tractor system, executing numerous variations and tests, analyzing the results, and pinpointing the source of.
• Worked closely with the Engineering Manager and manufacturing department to navigate the projects through to release.

Rosenort, Manitoba

• Utilized a methodical process for design and drawing tasks, working with a problem statement, breaking down components into individual steps and designing individual components such as interfaces and design frames.
• Worked in tandem with the sales team, providing them with pre-sales support with respect to the design of components to meet unique client needs
• Dedicated eight months to the STORM auger launch, a multi company project involving design, testing, validation and customer service support. Personally served as the Westfield project expert and key liaison between.
• Spent upwards of 10 hours a week on the shop floor assembling prototypes or manufacturing new parts, in resulting in a good understanding of the effects of design on manufacturability and assembly.
• Partnered with a colleague to design the hydraulic lifting system, and other components for the world’s largest auger, the MKX160, contributing to the project by troubleshooting production issues and design retrofits.
• Chosen as the Head Analyst for the engineering team on structures ranging from 7000lb to 15000lb, which included the use of both hand calculations and linear FEA where required
